Cool. I have a friend who helped (supervise) it being built. Supposed to be really nice and much better acoustics than WorkPlay (not that it would take much). That's a Thursday but before school starts back, so may be time to take a long weekend.

Iron City is the nicest music hall/club I've ever been to. Pretty large main room, probably 1,000 person capacity. Sunken floor, then main level with large horseshoe shaped bar inside the room (as opposed to Workplay, which has a small cramped bar outside the theater) and balcony level, again, similar to Workplay. Just larger. Wood/brick interior.
With a restaurant attached, so it's really two separate facilities. I think the restaurant area is open virtually every day, and the music hall only when acts booked. And the restaurant has a small stage area with mainly local folks playing late afternoons/early evenings. Mark Kimbrell has been playing every other Friday.
An awesome place. Heard they spent 5-6 million on it.

I think we're in for this one. Thursday night is problematic but I believe a Rock Show will be required.

It should be worth the trip over from MS. Iron City is supposed to be a very nice place. It was designed as a music club and restaurant not a factory like WorkPlay.

It's part of this shindig:

https://new.myspace.com/budlightmusicfirst/50-50-1
Bud Light is prepping 50 concerts in all 50 States on the same day (Aug. 1) for an event dubbed 50/50/1 that will kick off a new marketing platform, Bud Light Music First.
The events will be created in partnership with Live Nation, Myspace and Universal Music Group, and the program will be supported by promotions on 80 million packages of Bud Light products, as well as national ad campaign created by Translation (the agency behind Anheuser Busch’s other music festival, Budweiser Made In America.)

Rumor has it the Dexateens are opening for this one as well. If they or DBT could put together two nights of shows here, I'd do this one, too. Debt be damned.

Oh Snap! What is the source of that rumor? I may have put this on the front burner now!

Just got my tickets.. Driving in from Daphne Al..
It will be my first show since 2006 and my wife's first DBT show ever.. What should we expect?

A great show in a nice place with good acoustics. It is on.
Re: Drive-By Truckers to play at Birmingham's Iron City - Au
This is almost a week away, is there anybody else going to the show?
Re: Drive-By Truckers to play at Birmingham's Iron City - Au

Re: Drive-By Truckers to play at Birmingham's Iron City - Au
Hey guys, Looks like we made a last second decision to goto the show tonight.
MSTaper will be there with the taping rig, I'd like to run video, but we will see how it goes, i've never been to this venue and we might be arriving a bit late to setup stuff.
IF, and a BIG IF i can get everything setup, i might attempt to stream the show, if so, listen in at http://ustream.tv/channel/shoalsmusic

I heard some warm up music and now have nothing. Was that a test or are we off line?

Yeah, just enough to tease me to check it out and...nothing. Not my night (also missed huge Red Sox comeback/walk off win)

Just a few songs heard so far for me before it went back offline (I will take what I can get). 18 sounded fine.

Re: Drive-By Truckers to play at Birmingham's Iron City - Au
Sorry about the stream. Everything works before the show, then starts to mess up during it. I finally just turned it off because i was shooting video and didn't want to mess with it all night. MSTaper got the audio tape of it, and i'm sure it will be posted soon!
